Fentimans Ginger Beer 50 cl

Sharp ginger, a touch of lemon and an unexpected hint of rose oil — Fentimans Ginger Beer is a mixer that insists on being noticed, whatever you mix it with.

The Expert's Description

Fentimans Ginger Beer is a ginger-based soft drink from the British drinks house Fentimans, known for its botanically brewed products and exclusively pure raw materials. It is packed with a distinct ginger flavour and made with lemon juice and pure rose oil from the world-famous Rose Valley in Kazanlak, Bulgaria.

The result is an aromatic, assertive ginger beer that holds its own in countless cocktails without being drowned out. It is excellent mixed with vodka, dark rum or bourbon — and also works nicely alongside a spiced Gin.

Tasting Notes

The Tasting Experience

The ginger hits first and hard, sharp and warming without turning fiery. Lemon adds freshness, while a discreet hint of rose oil lays a floral layer underneath the spicy core, making the drink more complex than an ordinary ginger soft drink.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Serve cold, ideally in a tall glass with plenty of ice. Top up with vodka for a classic Moscow Mule, or use dark rum for a Dark and Stormy-style drink where the ginger beer should stand out clearly without overpowering the spirit's character. A slice of fresh lime in the glass lifts the flavour further.
